The Sunderland Advanced Mobility Shuttle (SAMS) project had announced Oxa as the new autonomy provider for its groundbreaking autonomous transport initiative, running during the first quarter of 2025.
Oxa will play a crucial role in bringing the project to life, delivering a state-of-the-art autonomous Ford E-Transit shuttle.
The initiative aims to illustrate how autonomous passenger shuttles can better connect people to key destinations within the city while reducing environmental impact.
Oxa is experienced in providing autonomous vehicle solutions across a range of sectors, including shared passenger transportation and industrial logistics. The company’s self-driving software platform and services enable businesses to benefit from autonomy today – enhancing safety, efficiency and sustainability.
We’re proud to be part of the movement to radically modernise public transport in the UK. We’re taking an innovative approach to bringing autonomy to customers and communities today, and are excited to be getting started in Sunderland.
“The project will demonstrate the potential of autonomous vehicles to create safe, efficient and sustainable transport solutions. We look forward to working closely with the council and partners to make this vision a reality.” – Gavin Jackson, CEO at Oxa
Passenger feedback will be collected throughout the project, for research purposes.
